Adding the Disclaimer and Info section
Dealing with applications that provide predictions, especially health predictions, can be a little bit dangerous, so a good practice is to write down a disclaimer to avoid any kind of misunderstanding.
The disclaimer of this web application, named Disclaimer and Info, also serves the function of providing some information about the model used to predict COVID-19 from images and about the dataset that was used to train that model.
In short, the main purpose of the disclaimer is to clarify that the application is just a demo of Streamlit’s capabilities and doesn’t have any value from a medical point of view. Additionally, the disclaimer also contains some information about the AI model used to make the predictions.
In Chapter 10, we will see that every time we need to make predictions, a good strategy is to use a machine learning model.
In particular, the model used in our web application is a so-called convolutional neural...
